An aptly timed episode of Ultimate XI this, as I spoke with comedian and musical performer Jamie D'Souza who was still riding the high of Arsenal's brilliant defeat of their north London rivals at the weekend. Surprisingly only one player from that side makes it in to his Ultimate XI, however the remaining selections make up a unique and nostalgic team that provides an insight into the mind of a younger, more hopeful Arsenal fan. A late arrival to football, Jamie started supporting Arsenal just
